The Izumo Nankin is a goldfish bred in the Izumo region of Shimane Prefecture and is characterized by having no dorsal fin. Loved for its graceful swimming, it has been preserved within a goldfish-breeding culture that stretches back to the Edo period. Its rounded body and bright colors make it an attractive ornamental fish.
